Excellent service, food and cozy but elegant space! This is an establishment that does what so many…read moreothers aspire to and few achieve. We arrived for a Christmas night dinner with very few expectations. My what a Christmas gift. My wife and I arrived at 7:30 (I know really early by Spanish standards) to a half full room of diners including families dressed for a special evening, as we were. Shown to our table immediately, seated, allowed a few minutes to settle in before asked for drinks and shown menus. Very easy flow of menus, cocktails, wine list and time to peruse. They offered specials but the head waiter stopped in to offer the kitchen expertise for anything off menu that they might try satisfy. All done with ease and grace. Menu was expansive Spanish/ French with nice selections of seafood and meats. My wife had the lobster Thermidor and I had a fish soup and grilled corvina. We started with fresh bread and butter (excellent olive oil was on the table), a muse bouche of salmon purée, olives, an aioli and carrot/celery. The salmon was nicely done and a good start. The soup came next and was very flavorful and hearty. Nice chunks of seafood. The mains came next nicely timed. The Thermidor was nicely sauced with large chunks and sauce was exquisitely balanced. My wife loved it. My corvina was a a very nice portion. Gilled to perfection on a bed of whipped potatoes, julienne vegetables and delectable sauce. We finished with a goat cheese ice cream. It went well with our remaining cava (the wine list is extensive and heavily Spanish) and a nice cortado. We were given a Spanish cordial on the house that finished the meal. This was the work of a confident and professional kitchen. Service was special. We had at least 2 waiters (both young women) looking after us. They remained unobtrusive but efficient. Smiles and banter when we initiated but very professional. The restaurant was elegant but comfortable,15-18 tables I could see. As we left we were thanked and shown again the kind of genuine hospitality of gracious hosts who were confident and proud of their kitchen and staff and who truly enjoyed their work. I thought $$'s were equivalent to the value received. If you have the opportunity when you visit Marbella/ Estepona or make a special trek to try, I hope you will not be disappointed.

We couldn't wait to come back to this restaurant. I recently had the lobster salad and it was great! Lots of fresh ripe fruit with greens and a good amount of lobster. My husband said the best foie gras he has ever had by any restaurant ever. Had it in 2017 and couldn't wait to have it again. Highly recommend the seafood casserole as well.

We picked Belvedere for a special birthday dinner while in Puerto Banus. Having passed through…read moreBelvedere while walking to the main marina we knew it was in a great location with a good view over the sea. The menu was large but we had both decided we were getting steak long before arriving. The waiter recommended tenderloin so we decided to get one tenderloin accompanied by veg and one ribeye accompanied by chips and peppered sauce. The tenderloin was one of best steaks I have ever tasted, it literally melted in the mouth. Although the ribeye wasn't so great, about 30% was made up of fat although it was huge. We don't usually, but we decided to get a Dessert and I'm glad we did as this was the crown jewel of the meal. We ordered a crepe topped with strawberries and whipped cream. This was easily enough for both of us to share. The service was good, there were plenty of waiters about to grab if you needed anything. A strong four stars, great location, get in early to get the tables looking over the sea.

It's really pretty place to sit outside on a sunny calm day. The service is really good. They have…read moreaquarium inside & they take the lobster ( among other things) right when you order. You can order fish by kilo which usually serves two & then they bill you according to the weight of the fish they put on BBQ for you. The prices are on the higher side for being in Spain but I think it's one of the best restaurant in the area. Their tables are usually all booked. The only critic was that even though the fish was fresh & I prefer a plain fresh food ( without sauce & too many spices) it was even too bland for me! It was served with some cooked potato & vegetable & reminded me of a hospital food that should be served low fat, low salt, low everything basically:)

All food was excellent and so was the service. We had so much paella left over we asked the waitress to box it up, so she took the leftovers and brought them back boxed. My wive's portion of paella that she didn't finish had a good amount of fish, calamari, shrimps, and clams in the mix before it was taken to be boxed. As we broke out the leftovers box this afternoon for lunch, we were excited to grub down on some great seafood, but to our surprise when we opened the box, there was no seafood to be found, only saffron flavored rice.......
